[RBW] Re: 200 miles on 10 bikes, an essentially pointless self-challenge

[Bill Lindsay]

A while back we talked about the front end of my Niner RLT9.  I've settled 
on that bike being the bike I will use for the Marin Mountains 200k brevet 
on October 14th.  It's going to be ~130 miles with ~35 miles off-road and 
~13000ft of climbing.  I'm pretty intimidated by those numbers, and a 
couple things fell into place that I took a pretty major pre-emptive strike 
on the equipment front.  Here's some background:

Pretty much everyone agrees on the following:
1.  rim-brakes are perfectly fine for >90% of the stuff we do with bikes
2.  disc brakes cover the other 10%
3.  hydraulic disc brakes are more powerful than mechanicals
4.  hydraulic discs are powerful enough to shift a QR wheel, so through 
axles are becoming dominant

Our little niche holds the opinions that

5.  a compliant flexy front fork is preferable for comfort and helps with 
traction as well
6.  hydraulic disc brakes require builders to use beefier construction than 
a flexy compliant fork would employ

I find that:

7. the carbon rigid fork on my Niner RLT9 is great that it takes racks and 
fenders, but it's STIFF.  

There are several bikes out there that try to give you a fork that soaks up 
the bumps but can handle the forces of disc braking.  There are many who 
have concluded you simply can't have both.  It's either strong enough for 
discs and it's stiff, or it's flexy and you use rim brakes.  What I wanted 
was a through axle fork that softened up the front end like a compliant 
frenchy fork, but still allows me to use my hydraulic disc brakes.  I was 
able to jump through a couple hoops and obtained for myself the nicest 
Icelandic bike part I've ever seen, a Lauf Grit fork for my Niner RLT9:




It's a full carbon 30mm travel suspension fork with no moving parts.  It's 
suspended with a dozen flat carbon leaf springs.  (lauf means leaf in 
celandic).  I haven't gotten the bike out on a meaningful ride, but I got 
the work finished up tonight.  I'm counting on this fork to take the edge 
off the off-road sections so I can persevere through the Marin Mountains 
200k.  I'll have to go without a handlebar bag, and I can't run a front 
fender with this fork.  

The event still promises to involve some dusk-to-night riding, so I was not 
willing to lose my dynamo lighting.  Two major Riv-Content items are this 
post.  The first is this:  Using part of my Berthoud Decaleur, a Sheldon 
Nut, and some Nitto Parts I pieced together a front dynamo lamp holder.  

 




The second Riv-content item is that this Icelandic/German/Taiwan carbon 
suspension fork has a slogan printed on it on the leading edge of the fork 
crown.  That slogan is:  Just Ride.  You can see it if you zoom in.  


I'm going to go on a couple explorational pre-rides on the Marin Mountains 
200 route to try things out.

Great report on your impressive challenge. I have a BMC Monster  Cross  and 
almost bought the road bike when I was in Mike's  shop a year ago. Probably not 
as flexible as you, though, so maybe that was a good thing. Keep up the great 
work. Looking forward to #6.

[RBW] Re: 200 miles on 10 bikes, an essentially pointless self-challenge

[Bill Lindsay]

September heat has contributed to some off days, and my wife and kids have 
all my weekends booked, but I have continued to make progress on my 10x200 
challenge.  I've primarily been riding my main "road bike", my kind of 
Roadeo like Black Mountain Cycles Road.  I took BART to Embarcadero Station 
and rode ~72 miles through San Francisco, across the Golden Gate Bridge and 
through Marin County, stopping briefly in Fairfax at the Mountain Bike Hall 
of Fame:




I continued out Sir Francis Drake Blvd out to Highway 1, and skirted 
Tomales Bay all the way out to Dillon Beach, where we spent the weekend 
with friends:






Tomorrow I'll do a short ride to round out 200 miles for this bike, which 
will put 5 of the 10 in the books.  I'm feeling consistently good on the 
bike.  After >70 miles and ~4000 feet of climbing I was left wanting more, 
which makes me optimistic about my preparation progress towards an epic 
200k brevet with San Francisco Randonneurs in October.  I also think I may 
want to pull a stem spacer to drop my bars by another centimeter.  With 
some improved flexibility, it's easier to get low, and I can really feel 
the aerodynamic and power benefit from getting low.  Equipment-wise, this 
was my first time out with a high-capacity roll-top style seat bag from 
Ruthworks.  I carried a change of clothes in there on the chance I would 
arrive at the Air BnB before my family arrived with my bag (which I did).  


I'm spending the majority of this upcoming week away from my stable of 10, 
visiting with my mom out of town.  When I return, there will be catching up 
to do.

Re: [RBW] Re: Pleased by longish life from tires and chain; chain life under the pure paraffin regimen

[Patrick Moore]

With plain paraffin, I was applying it too frequently -- every 100-150
miles, because the chain got very noisy, very quickly. With Speed Wax --
we'll see; I just started using the stuff. Ron says that he gets well over
500 miles before he needs to rewax.

Yesterday about 5:30 pm I dragged myself away from a particularly annoying
resume to go for a quick ride in the nearby bosque -- sandy dirt trails and
irrigation ditch roads. About 3.5 miles into the ride, a SW downpour; fine
silty river (Rio Grande thru middle of ABQ) sand quickly became mud. I
aimed for home and turned up the gas, but still, when I arrived home some
6.7 miles total, there was grit on the chain despite fenders -- must
replace the PB Cascadias with VO Zeppelins.

Rinsed the bike down with gentle hose; chain still seems lubed -- that is,
wiping fingers along it, it feels as if it is still waxed, but no more
grit. We'll see; hope to ride it again soon.

To answer question 2: gentle hose, top-down. Bounce bike to shed water; air
dry -- rather faster here in high desert ABQ, NM, I daresay, than in most
places. I hope that, if the Speed Wax is as good as promised, a mere hose
wetting won't require re-waxing; at least, wax doesn't "hold" grit the way
oil does.

Anne, you might one day consider a hub gear: all the gear bits inside the
hub, and only the chain and sprockets to get gritty. The ideal beach bike,
I'd guess, would have a hub gear (or fixed ss) with rear coaster and front
drum brake, and a full chain case. Can one still buy DL-1s with full, 360*
coverage chain cases?

As my post topic reads looking to possibly pick up a LHT. Ideally I just need a 
bike excluding, saddle, bars, brake levers, and wheels. Shoot me a DM if you 
have one your looking to sell.

It's 650b;  I looked for the original frame specs but I couldn't find 
anything (looked at the geometry page on main site, looked at the 
ENTIRE http://roscobubbe.tumblr.com site) for the Bubbe-1 mountain mixte 
frames.By hand measuring, it's  54cm ST, 59cm ETT, 71.5(ish) HTA, 72 or 
so STA, 450ish chainstays, and of course an approximately 20cm headtube.

It's probably been a while since I posted an explicit reminder to the group, 
but when replying to FS/FT/WTB/WTT/etc. posts, you should contact the poster 
directly. That prevents accidental sharing of personal information to the group 
at large.  This is a publicly searchable/viewable group, so if someone posts a 
phone number, address and says something like "but we're going to be out of 
town for the next two days", there are bad people who might take advantage of 
that.  I know you wouldn't do that, but I'd hate to tell you how many moderated 
posts contain information which I'd regard as too personal for public 
consumption.

If you contact the poster directly, that also spares everyone else the process 
of having to ignore that thread.  Some folks still do track this group through

Most items around here get sold in a matter of days, so if it's 6 months old

You can set your phone to be on the desktop version with the little button at

Great stuff; sounds like a perfect day! I was in Marin this past June 
(although in a car and on foot, not on a bike) at several of the locations 
you mentioned, and your descriptive writing (not to mention your photos) 
brought back some good memories. Thanks for posting.

[Deacon Patrick]

Great question! The debate continues. Bottom line, I think for bikepacking 
I will return to my TourSack panniers, 
these: http://thegrid.ai/withabandon/winter-arrived--and-errandoneuring

The Frost River Hwy 61s are fantastic for roads, not trails. They move too 
much (for me) on trails, as they need a tighter mounting to the rack then 
they have. Everything else about them I love. Roomy, flexible, easy in and 
out, leave the rack free and clear. 

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Re: For Sale/Trade Response Reminder

[Cyclofiend Jim]

REMINDER - 

It's probably been a while since I posted an explicit reminder to the 
group, but when replying to FS/FT/WTB/WTT/etc. posts, you should contact 
the poster directly. That prevents accidental sharing of personal 
information to the group at large.  This is a publicly searchable/viewable 
group, so if someone posts a phone number, address and says something like 
"but we're going to be out of town for the next two days", there are bad 
people who might take advantage of that.  I know you wouldn't do that, but 
I'd hate to tell you how many moderated posts contain information which I'd 
regard as too personal for public consumption.

If you contact the poster directly, that also spares everyone else the 
process of having to ignore that thread.  Some folks still do track this 
group through email. 

Yes. People should indicate when something is sold.

I'm thinking people should indicate when something is sold. Editing the 
post subject would be good.  Kinda like leaving your campsite a bit cleaner 
than how you found it.

If they could delete the thread, even better. 

Just a little reminder/housekeeping on this fine and beautiful day.

[RBW] Quickbeam over Mt Tam

[Sergio]

What a treat to see those trails and fog after so many years in the Midwest. 
There was always such a feeling of internal pride and accomplishment as you 
rounded the final curves leading to the tip of the trail. Thanks for helping me 
revisit! Makes me realize how much I need to bring my bike on a trip home one 
of these days.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sunrace make good cassettes?

[commutour]

"I found that I had to do this too much with my X2D triple, 46/36/24 X 7 in 
back, when transitioning between pavement (mostly on the 46) and dirt (much 
more need for the low/intermediate gears on the 36), so I turned the same crank 
into one of those Rivendell doubles with guard, 38 and 24 rings, and 9 nicely 
chosen cogs -- same range, same gaps, and much more terrain and surface 
capacity on the 38."

So, why not leave the 46 on, replace the 36 with the 38 and have more range 
with no penalty?

[RBW] Latex 650b Tubes

[Garth]

So you're going to trade those leaky tubes for more leaky tubes ?  Hmmm, I'd 
try some liquid orange or some other brand of goobly glob in the tubes, or at 
least another brand of tubes rather than latex. I have used all sorts of brands 
of tubes from generic to name brand and none have been any better or worse at 
holding air than the other.

Re: [RBW] Latex 650b Tubes

[Ron Mc]

one thing to keep in mind with latex tubes and all that pumping - yes, yo 
do have to pump every day you ride, and once/week on bikes you're not 
riding - but unlike your butyl tube, your latex tube is not building up 
water over time.  
We have 5 bikes around here on latex tubes.  The only Schwalbe UL tubes 
we're using are on my daughter's upright with 42mm specifically so that I 
don't have to pump it every week (or even every month).  I store her road 
bike on a stand where the tires don't rest on the ground, giving me the 
option of letting it go flat.  

As far as flats and roadside go, they're just as easy to patch as butyl, 
with patches cut from an old latex tube and small tube of tubular glue. 
 They also have the advantage the patch stretches with the tube.  
For an Alt flat kit, a 2-oz bottle of Stans with a valve core tool is my 
approach most of the time.  
3rd option is carry a spare butyl tube and repair your latex tube at home.  

I did have a tire cut from a yucca leaf once that was just long enough that 
a latex tube would balloon through it, where a less-elastic butyl tube 
might not have.  

That's a heck of a price on Steve's listing - if I was looking for the 
size, I'd be buying the guy out, but that's me.
